Description

The postcard shows an illustration of the landscape of the island, as wells as the bridge that connects the two sides of the islands. One thing to point out is the way the sky looks, it creates an overall peaceful vibe. It's a pleasing postcard

The color-added illustration depicts the causeway leading from the Miami Beach to the Bay Islands and other parts of Miami. The illustration mainly depicts water and there islands scattered throughout. The illustration shows an array of greenery mixed with buildings and roads. The causeway does not look from the illustration as if it connects to every piece of land. There is a large white building on the mainland from where the illustration is coming from that sticks out compared to the other buildings. Across the water is another large land mass with an array of buildings and greenery on it as well. The sky is a blend of blue, pink, and potentially orange hues.

Description

An illustrated photograph of the Bahia Honda Bridge to Key West, Florida.

A color-added illustration that depicts the Bahia Honda Bridge at its highest span of overseas highway leading to Key West. The bridge was originally built by Henry Flagler and part of the FEC's Overseas Railroad. Due to the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, much of the line was destroyed and the FEC desired to abandoned it. In 1938, the bridge was bought by Florida and turned into a highway, but only the top of the highway was changed for use as an oversea highway. A new four-lane bridge was built in 1980 north of the old bridge to replace the route and now provides a scenic overview of the area for tourists. The bridge structure is a Parker truss and two were removed to in order to facilitate boat traffic. The original bridge has fallen into despair and signs have been posted to warn boats of falling debris despite the bridge still staying intact. The illustration is split between a dark blue ocean and a pink and light blue sky with scattered clouds. Cutting through the image is the iron highway held up by stone bases along the bridge. On the left side of the image, the beginning of the coast can be seen with a rocky land and the beginning of greenery. There appears to be so pointed part on top of the bridge and the bridge appears to arch at a point. The land extends narrowly into the water a bit. It is hard to tell if the bridge reaches land because it is too far off to tell but looks to end.

Description

Several buildings and the Hotel Mallon Sterling are visible on the front of the card, acting as the background to the Market Street Bridge and waterway in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The illustrated scene is shown from a point of view that is across the bridge on a bank or on the water.

The color-added illustration depicts the Market Street Bridge and and Skyline at night in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The bridge is arched underneath with pillars reaching into the water to hold it up. The water is calm and blue and reflects the buildings on the skyline and the bridge.There are lamp posts that are lit along the bridge most likely for the sidewalk on the bridge. There are two pillars on each side at the end of the bridge where it meets the city. There appears to me an outlet on land to get off the bridge through stairs and there appears to be a sidewalk or road curving to the right and going under the bridge. There is green grass and a tree near the bank of the water on the side where the skyline is. Behind there are five buildings that can be made out with one being hidden by the bridge only being able to see the top and part of it under the bridge. There are two red buildings and one is the Hotel [Mallow] Sterling. The white building in the background that has a sign on it but is facing the other way. Stairs can be seen on the outside of the building leading up to the higher stories that is in front of the hotel. There appears to be smoke in the air but that could just be the shading in the postcard. The sky is a dark blue with hints of light gray signifying the clouds in the sky. There is wear and tear of the back of the post card as well as the ink appearing a bit faded and blotted.
